Organisations are now being assessed by investors, customers, suppliers, employees and other groups on their social impact. Workplace injuries can have a significant social impact, in many different short- and long-term ways. The presentation will address:

• What are the key social impacts of workplace injuries?
• Why should organisations care about the social impact of workplace injuries?
• How can social impact be measured?
• What are the legal consequences of having a high social impact from workplace injuries?

Anyone who has had any connection to a workplace fatality can see the many harms to the affected family, work colleagues, friends, and organisational culture that can arise from the legal process that follows. Introducing restorative justice principles into the response, alongside the legal process, can assist in preventing these harms from occurring. The panel discussion will consider:

• What are fundamental features of a restorative justice approach?
• What are the benefits/risks?
• How does a restorative justice approach work with legal privilege?
• Why implement a restorative justice approach when a workplace fatality or serious injury occurs?
